Red Value 3 Section Telescopic Trekking Pole

Trekking poles are like Marmite sandwiches, either you love them or you hate them. Many first time users are skeptical as to the usefulness of trekking poles and ask themselves whether they are just another gadget or if they will make the hiking experience more enjoyable? Initially you may find the poles get entangled in the undergrowth and that not having instant use of your hands is inconvenient.

Trekking poles are however an acquired taste. Over months of regular use, most hikers find they become a must on any hike.

Trekking poles tend to improve balance over uneven terrain and can decrease knee strain. Use trekking poles uphill to decrease the weight placed on the supporting leg. On steep gradients, plant the pole adjacent to the supporting leg. When planting the poles in this way, leg joints and lower back should feel less strained. Downhill slopes cause the most stress and strain on knees, owing to the impact of the bodyweight on the leading knee. This strain is exacerbated when the hiker is carrying a heavy pack. When hiking downhill, plant the pole adjacent to the lead leg before your foot touches the ground. This takes a little practice but should decrease the impact of your body weight on the knee.

This red trekking pole is great value. It is available in plain green or autumn gold floral as well as this red version and has a crutch grip with nylon cord wrist strap. The 4614 trekking pole is telescopic (being made in 3 separate sections) and can adjust in height from 79cm to 156cm. The pole ends in a spike covered by a rubber ferrule for use on hard ground.

Malcolm W., WelwynPaul,

Thank you very much for the prompt despatch of my order, which was delivered today.

Much appreciated.

Have a great Christmas

Regards

John B., BristolHello Paul,
Received the goods today, very satisfied with the quality and the very efficient service. I will have no hesitation in using you again should the need arise. Many thanks.

Susan D., West SussexDear Sara & Paul,

Just wanted to say that the scarf arrived this morning, just hours after ordering and I am so delighted. I am absolutely amazed by the service I have received. Personal and prompt. Having lost my previous scarf it seemed an impossible task to find it again. Describing the scarves you have over the phone has actually located the one I wanted and I now have my 'old scarf' back (in newer condition). Can't tell you how impressed I am and I look forward to receiving your newsletter in the future. Have no doubt I shall be ordering again and thank you SO much!

All the very best,

S.B., TruroHi Sara, The Brady Kent bag has just arrived! Very happy with it and great customer service.

Many thanks.

Jamie.

Jamie S., WarwickshireSara & Paul,

This is just to confirm safe delivery of the handbag strap which will enable me to use a nice bag which I've neglected for ages as its own strap is far too long, not ajustable, too narrow and therefore uncomfortable. I Googled 'brown leather handbag strap' and was delighted to find I could buy exactly what I wanted - colour, width, length, adjustable, clip-on - from yourselves. Many thanks for the very prompt and efficient service too.

Melanie S., CornwallDear Paul & Sara, Just to let you know that the liner I ordered arrived today - we're currently based in Oslo. Very many thanks for such a speedy service.

The liner is super snuggly but, even so, I think the temperatures here, heavy snow and minus 19 forecast for the weekend, have finally outmatched my trusty Barbour and I'll now have to embrace the michelin-man padded down look, at least until the Spring!

Seasons greetings.

best, Jackie

Jackie B., OsloHello the hats have arrived, they are perfect, thank you.
